Note: Plug for 2022 year-end contributions to Talking Talmud (details and link to contribute on FB or WhatsApp). Two mishnayot: First, an opening to release a person from his vow against eating meat, for example, if he can be asked: had you realized that would include Shabbat and holidays, would you have made this vow? Note that a vow that is partly nullified is wholly nullified. Likewise, exceptions to the general vow can be used to undermine and nullify that vow. Also, the possibility of undoing a vow because of the fear of shame to the family members because of his vow, then that same vow can be dissolved. Plus, one who takes a vow on false premises has not made the vow (not that the reality changed, but the vow was based in something false to begin with). And what if the reality changed? That well may be room to dissolve the vow. Plus, the challenge of the relationships and the value of undoing vows because of them.
